Turquiose Jewelry Set

I think this was the first kit sent to me and I finally had time to make it.  Again the concepts were fairly simple and the whole kit took me about 2 hours to make.  The items are super heavy, so I probably won't wear them, but I'm sure someone else will love them.

Earrings

I decided to get caught up on all of my jewelry kits that I had.  This one was pretty fun.  I learned to make loops and create these crazy earrings.  Great practice for when I decide to finally design some really cool earrings that I'll be more likely to wear.  Each set of earrings took me about 30 minutes, so they were very easy.

Circular Baby Blanket

The Annie's Kit of the Month people must think that there are a million babies out there in need of a crocheted blanket.  I seem to have to modify the blanket kits all the time to make them larger.  My gauge is correct, but the blanket ends up being too small.  This blanket was super fast.  It took me about 5 hours.

Making Beads...

I thought this kit was going to be boring.  Just stringing beads onto a necklace and bracelet.  Boy was I wrong.  The circular beads on the necklace and the square beads on the bracelet I made.  There were empty metal, I added a cardboard design and then added clear glue that when dried made it look like a "bubbly" bead.  It was pretty awesome.  This kit isn't as cute as I would hope, but the concept was cool and I'll probably make more beads.

Love Wall Hanging

This is one of the kit's I got from the Craft of the Month club.  Most of the projects were to detail oriented for me, so I cancelled the club, but I still have a few projects left to do.  This one basically was a little bit of painting and gluing.  Not too bad.  Alan even helped me with it.

Diamond Blanket

I received this kit for Christmas as well (I think last year).  It is made up of diamonds that are then sewn together.  It was a pretty fast blanket to make (about 10 hours) and I'll probably make another one with the scrap yarn I have.

Beach Scene Pixel Mosaic

I got this craft project for Christmas.  It's another pixel mosaic.  They are really fun, but pretty expensive.  It looks great finished, now I just have to frame it.  This took me about 5 hours and it's about 10 x 13.  

Leah's Table Doily

This project took me quite a while. I finished it in March, but did not have a chance to upload the picture. It's a filet crochet doily.  Leah saw it and said she wanted it, so it's tagged with her name.  It probably took me 20 - 30 hours and I had to start over when I realized I missed a stitch early on once I was half way through.

Bracelet

This is a bracelet from the Annie's Attic Jewelry Kit of the Month.  I figured since I was off for a week, I would catch up on all of my crafting. So this will be one of many posts.  This bracelet took me about an hour.  It was very simple.
